Course Description

The initial focus of this lecture appeals to the artistic aspect of what we do through
understanding the interrelationship between the face and the smile/teeth in designing
a smile. This takes into consideration Facial Reference lines, Golden Proportion,
Natural Reoccurring Proportion, Shade selection, Physical Beauty and our interpretation
of it, tooth design and its impact on the overall smile, variations of preparation
design to accommodate arch length inadequacy and arch length redundancy, the concepts
of perception and illusion and how they are used in esthetic smile design, use of
the art form of cosmetic digital imaging in establishing smile design and in laboratory
communication and the use of TEK-SCAN analysis to finish our cases.

Case Acceptance is paramount in enabling us to utilize the clinical skills we have
acquired through our committed efforts to become good at what we do. In addition to
the above, this lecture entails the preoperative analysis of a patients smile through
the use of digital photography and the use of cosmetic smile imaging using Envsionasmile
cosmetic imaging software. It addresses the successful methods and techniques used
in consultations to present the possibilities to the inquiring patient and how to
make case presentations relaxed, rewarding and well received.

Additionally, this lecture will take into consideration the challenging economic times
and the esthetic procedures we can still provide. Our focus on the upper/lower arch
esthetic case often times blinds us to the significant amount of esthetic dentistry
that is available to us on a more conservative level. Awareness of these opportunities
enables us to provide a less costly alternative to our inquiring patients who cannot
afford the ideal full arch case. Examples of esthetic denture design, gingival contouring,
esthetic tooth contouring and even adjunctive procedures such as Botox and Dermal
Fillers will be presented to address the economic challenge.
